X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:06:05 -0000 So I got Xorg working with Hal. Wahoo. If I log in from a display manager I encounter some weird stuff. If I am using xdm and I log out of the window manager and then attempt to shut down the computer - by going to tty 0 and typing # halt -p - the disk syncs and then the shutdown freezes. If I am using wdm and I log out of the window manager and want to log back in, it takes my username but does not clear the text field for me to type a password. There is only one regular user on the system. FreeBSD 7.2 release. Blackbox wm. graphics: ATI mobility radeon Xpress 200m, 64MB - 128MB.
